If Sean hadn't arrived in time, Kirby would have been dead already. Even now, his injuries hadn't fully healed. Although his right hand was saved, it couldn't perform delicate movements, and while he could walk normally, he couldn't move quickly. The trip to Menko nearly turned him into a half-cripple.However, as Brayden had said, he was a mad dog by Melissa's side because he was crazy and reckless enough. He would fulfill all her orders even if it meant his death.This time, she had ordered him not to make any mistakes. This would mean that he had to kill Monica, even at the cost of his own life.He was currently still in Krontos. After receiving the order, he put down his hamburger and immediately sprang into action. He left the restaurant, put on his hood, and walked through the rain, his eyes filled with murderous intent.He didn't understand why Monica was so lucky to have survived several assassination attempts. Melissa was furious. So, even if it cost him his life, he was

At the mention of the accidents, Monica couldn't help looking up at Lara, who had just helped her to the couch."What are you looking at me for?" Lara immediately flew into a rage. "If I were to send a hitman after you, would I do it on the day our families discuss my and Kieron's marriage? And why would I send such a worthless piece of trash?"Also… I wasn't the one behind your and Grace's accident, so stop suspecting that I'm behind everything! I'm not that ruthless yet. Why don't any of you believe that I'm innocent?"Perhaps it was because none of the Steele family's elders were in this private room—Lara didn't want to hold herself back at all. She'd been holding herself back for close to the past year, and it was frustrating.Now, she turned to her parents as tears rolled down her face. She gnashed her teeth and wiped them away, refusing to show any weakness. She said coldly, "Since we've already caught the guy, let's take him to the police station so they can interrogate him.

Asher shook his head. Robert stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked at Yasmine and Xavier as they played with the puppies. He sounded baffled as he said, "The Scott family hasn't made enemies out of anyone in recent years, have they?"Asher stood behind him. "Ms. Monica has been in accidents a few times now, and I heard that the most serious one was when Ms. Grace was with her. Because of that accident, Ms. Grace has ended up in her current state. I think… Ms. Monica should be their target.""You mean Monica's made an enemy out of someone?" Robert turned to look at him."That's my guess. I didn't ask for too many details on this matter," Asher said."That shouldn't be the case…" Robert held his walking cane tightly as he walked back to the couch. "We looked into every aspect of Monica's background when we were picking a suitable wife for Sean."She's someone of good character, which is rare in our circle. She's also always kept a low profile and is polite to everyone

"The photos were from Cade Smithers. You remember him, right? He was with us when we went to Kieron's resort. Cade was at the same restaurant the Steele and Scott families were at, and he knew they'd reserved the whole third floor."He was about to leave the place when he saw police officers arrest a man in a waiter's uniform and stuff him into a police car. He heard that the guy had disrupted the dinner and wanted to snap a photo to ask Kieron what had happened. He didn't expect the guy to be a hitman," Nathaniel said.Angeline pulled out her phone and started scrolling through the group chat he'd mentioned. Then, she found the photo. It showed the police dragging a disheveled Kirby out of the elevator and just so happened to show his face in full.She saved the photo and sent it to Lenny, whom she hadn't contacted for a long time. She texted, "Send this photo to Brayden and ask him if he knows who this guy is."Lenny hadn't shown up before Angeline, but he'd always been secretl

Brayden couldn't believe Kirby had gone after Monica, who was surrounded by bodyguards, despite his condition. He hadn't cared about the consequences at all.After some thought, he decided to inform Sean about this. The latter's expression became extremely ugly when he heard that Kirby had gotten caught after trying to assassinate Monica, and he pursed his lips tightly.Prior to this, Angeline had warned him many times of the possibility that Monica's numerous accidents had to do with Melissa. He'd looked into the matter and had indeed found them to be linked to Kirby.He'd asked Kirby about it, but all the latter had said was that he'd grown up with Melissa and owed his life to Melissa and Brian. He would do anything to make Melissa happy.Kirby had also told Sean that he knew how deeply Melissa loved Sean and that his guess was that Sean's heart was with Monica, his ex-fiancée. Wanting to make Melissa happy and reduce her worries, he'd orchestrated the accidents… but failed to ge
